Arturia MINILAB-MKII

MiniLab MkII is a powerful controller that will open up a new world of sound design, performance, and music production.

Every element of the reinvented MiniLab has been carefully chosen to give you the best experience possible. Beautifully playable mini keys, responsive and durable performance pads, wiggle-free rotary knobs, all wrapped up in a compact, ergonomic, rugged design.

The revitalized MiniLab is USB class-compliant, meaning there’s no awkward installation process or quirky settings, it’s as simple as ‘plug & play’. Not only can MiniLab MkII be used to control software instruments on your PC, Mac, or laptop, it can also be used to control virtual instrument iOS apps.

MiniLab MkII also works beautifully with our MIDI Control Center software, letting you create, edit, and save different MIDI mappings to suit whatever project you may be working on. MiniLab MkII can also save up to 8 of these MIDI maps on its internal memory. Recalling them is as simple as pressing ‘shift’ and hitting one of the 8 pads.

Perfect portability, strong and durable, MiniLab MkII ticks all the boxes for musicians and producers looking for a suitable small controller. Small enough to fit in an everyday backpack, laptop bag, or messenger bag, but tough enough to withstand the knocks and bumps on the journey, MiniLab MkII has been developed to make life easy for gigging musicians and producers on the go. MiniLab MkII’s small footprint also makes it the ideal addition to home studios where space is at a premium.

MiniLab MkII also includes a powerful collection of complementary software: recording & production platform Ableton Live Lite and UVI Grand Piano Model D virtual piano.
